recoveredtoday·3 lata temu·discussGuy checking in here that was super skeptical of AA, tried everything else including minimization, psychology, etc.10 years sober today as a direct result of finally surrendering my ego and walking into the room and giving it a try.From my "class" I'd say about 25 - 30% of us have made it to this milestone so far.No two people are built the same is the truth, if you've tried and failed elsewhere don't be dissuaded to try it.
